Christmas in Colorado!!!

We got to got home for Christmas this year & we had such a great time seeing our friends & family!!! My grandma Carol Hartman also joined us from Texas this year, which was nice too. We spent about a week and a half with my family in Montrose. Christmas day was spent with the whole Penasa/Kastendieck/Goodwin etc clan!!! It was awesome seeing all of the family! We also will have a new addition to the Penasa family soon (no, not just baby Hostetler)...Mitch proposed to Audra while we were there & we are SO excited for her to be a part of our family!!!

Mike trying to look pregnant..haha!!!

Me at about 14 1/2 weeks...any sign of a baby bump yet???

Master Bedroom (BEFORE)

(Above) BEFORE all of the old stuff was moved out...

(Above) In process of remodeling...a mess... (you can see the bathroom door in this pic)

(Above) The door on your left leads to the living room & the door on the right will be gone (it leads outside which is SO weird..guess thats how old houses were)

We have not done much in the master bedroom yet but here are some BEFORE pics...we did take out the tiny closet in order to extend the size of the bathroom & MIke is going to buil us a new closet...he is so handy! :)

Mike has been working on the bathroom quite a bit lately...starting to look great!! I absolutely LOVE our shower...and it isnt even tiled yet haha :) The bathroom is bigger now because Mike extended it thru the old closet in the master bedroom (he is going to build a new closet in the bedroom). The bathroom has 2 doors..1 off the kitchen & 1 from our master bedroom.

HOUSE: Kitchen progress

Here are some pictures of our kitchen getting remodeled!! We have a lot to do in the next few weeks before we have to move out! Our landlord in our rental house just put the house up for sale & we should be out by the end of October.

New House!

We bought a house!!! Yay!! We are SO excited about it :) The house is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom older farm style house right in town. I love it! It is a "fixer upper" and work is well underway. Mike is doing all of the remodeling himself (with help from his family & me). I will try to continuosly put progress pics on!
